Abstract
The techniques of derivation of the high urinary tract are indispensable in common practice for the management of ureteral obstructions. Like any surgical gesture, its techniques are not without complications; Among those common are hematuria, urinary incontinence, migration in the bladder and rupture of the probe. However, intracardiac probe migration has rarely been described. We report the case of a 68-year-old patient treated for cervical cancer who benefited from the rise of a bilateral single-J probe, admitted for accidental migration of the left probe into the heart. The diagnosis was made by plain abdominal X-ray and confirmed by thoraco-abdominal CT angiography. The patient benefited, in the catheterization room, from a withdrawal of the probe by endoscopic way and under radioscopic control successfully and without any incident.
